The Individual verses

REVELATION> Chapter 2> Ephesus

1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
2. I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars:
3. And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted.
4. But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.
5. Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance and do the first works. Or else I come to thee and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.
6. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate.
7. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God.

 

REVELATION> Chapter 6> First Seal

1. And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals: and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of thunder, saying: Come and see.
2. And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer.
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: Come and see.

 

REVELATION> Chapter 8> First Trumpet

2. And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God: and there were given to them seven trumpets.
3. And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer: and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne of God.
4. And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.
5. And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it on the earth: and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake.
6. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound the trumpet.
7. And the first angel sounded the trumpet: and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood: and it was cast on the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up: and the third part of the trees was burnt up: and all green grass was burnt up.

 

REVELATION> Chapter 16> First Plague

1. And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
3. And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth. And there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men who had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image thereof.

The verses put together as one continuous paragraph.

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars: And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted. But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity. Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance and do the first works. Or else I come to thee and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God. And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals: and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of  thunder, saying: Come and see. And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: Come and see. And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God: and there were given to them seven trumpets.

Ven. Fr. Bartholomew Holzhauser
THE FIRST EPOCH, which he calls that of “SEED-TIME,” (status seminationis), comprehends the period that elapsed from the preaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles, down to the martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul under Nero. [67, 68 AD]

(DRB)

Chapter 1

1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John. 2. Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. 3. Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this  prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. 4. John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne. 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. 6. And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 7. Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen. 8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. 9. I John, your brother and your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus. 10. I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. 11. Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. 12. And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks: 13. And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14. And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire. 15. And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters. 16. And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power. 17. And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last. 18. And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell. 19. Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter. 20. The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. Continue reading →
